Adding or removing classes of information
The classes of information in the InfoCenter
are defined by the contents of the file Class.js
in the directory html\navigation.
This file can be edited using any ASCII editor.
Each line in the file is one of:
-
a blank line
-
a comment line starting with two slashes (//)
-
an invocation of the JavaScript function classDefn.
To remove an existing class of information you can either
-
convert the lines defining the class into a comments
by adding "//" to the beginning of the line, or,
-
remove the lines containing the function invocation altogether.
To add a new class of information,
simply add one or more new lines to the file Class.js
containing an invocation of the function classDefn.
The four parameters to the function are
-
the pathname of the JavaScript file
that contains the definition of the categories within the class,
relative to the directory html\navigation
-
the name of the class as it is to appear on the tab in the tab bar
-
the text string that is to appear in the window status area
when the mouse is moved over the tab in the tab bar
-
the URL of the document that is to be displayed inthe main panel
when the class is first selected by clicking on the tab.
